Question
For the process $${H_2}O\left( l \right)\left( {1\,{\text{bar}},\,373k} \right) \to {H_2}O\left( g \right)\left( {1\,{\text{bar}},\,373\,K} \right),$$ the correct set of thermodynamic parameters is
A.
$$\Delta G = 0,\,\Delta S = + ve$$
B.
$$\Delta G = 0,\Delta S = - ve$$
C.
$$\Delta G = + ve,\Delta S = 0$$
D.
$$\Delta G = - ve,\Delta S = + ve$$
Answer :
$$\Delta G = 0,\,\Delta S = + ve$$
Solution :
Since, liquid is passing into gaseous phase so entropy will increase and at $$373 K$$ during the phase transformation it remains at equilibrium. So, $$\Delta G = 0.$$
